These delicious little Anise Drops have a crisp "frosted" top with a slightly chewy interior - they magically frost themselves!" -- Margaret Mittelstadt, director of community relations

Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 eggs, room temperature
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (a coarse sugar will not work)
1 teaspoon anise oil or extract
Directions
- Sift flour with baking powder.
- Using a mixer, beat eggs and sugar at medium speed for 30 minutes (yup, that's minutes).
- Turn to lowest speed. Add flour. Beat for another 3 minutes.
- Add anise oil. Blend for another minute. The batter will be a little runny.
- Drop by teaspoons full onto greased and floured cookie sheets.
- Let stand uncovered for 8 hours or overnight. Cookie top should be firm and dry to the touch.
- Preheat oven to 325°.
